PLANO, Texas, May 19, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Toyota's dynamic
2021 Supra 3.0 Premium was honored with two awards at the Texas
Auto Writers Association's (TAWA) 2021 Auto Roundup. Impressing
with its 384 horsepower and 368 lb-ft of torque, the 2021 Supra won
the highest mark in the performance coupe category and was named
the Performance Vehicle of Texas
at the signature spring driving event.
Among a collection of vehicles from the world's top
manufacturers, the Supra received praise for its powerful
3.0-liter, inline 6-cylinder engine and comprehensive safety
features. The 2021 Toyota Supra 3.0 Premium features an 8-speed
automatic transmission with paddle shifters and a revised engine to
take it from 0-60 in 3.9 seconds. Boasting an array of features,
the Supra wows with a power boost and returned chassis continuing a
tradition of an impressive ride/handling balance.
Accenting the Supra's concept car-inspired
body are 19-inch forged aluminum 10-spoke wheels with
Michelin Pilot super sport tires,
and inside it features 14-way heated power-adjustable black
leather-trimmed sport seats. At Auto Roundup, attendees experienced
the vehicle's new safety and technology package with an enhanced
touchpad control, a 12 speaker JBL audio system, and the Driver's
Assist Safety Package featuring dynamic radar cruise control, blind
spot monitoring, rear cross traffic alert and more.
This year's Texas Auto Roundup brought together 40 journalists
to evaluate 35 vehicles at the Texas Motor Speedway. Vehicles from
the world's top manufacturers were put to the test on this
professional track and evaluated on interior, exterior, value,
performance and personal appeal. Attendees that test drove the
Supra took note of its speed, agility and performance combined with
its electric power steering and vehicle stability control which
makes it ideal for quick transitions and tight turns.
